I've been through landings similar to that before. NOTHING that extreme, but hairy nonetheless.
Flying into Houston once ahead of a storm, the flight was pretty rough for about a half hour before landing and there were heavy crosswinds at the airport. People were already a little nervous coming in and the wind was bad enough that the pilot had the plane crabbed over far enough that you could see way more of the runway than you want to from the passenger cabin. When the plane touched down, it rotated around on the first landing gear to hit and the pilot put it down hard on the runway and wobbled and swerved a bit until everything straightened itself out.
Credit to the co-pilot and pilot, though, for defusing the situation with a little humor. After the plane was well into its rollout and everything was kosher, the co-pilot came over the intercom and said something like 'Captain One-point Landing would like to thank all of you for joining him on his first landing today. Please remember to congratulate him as you deplane. Thanks for flying Airline'.

Please grace us with your knowledge. What would you have done different?
That’s a huge plane. He handled it like a 2 door sports car.

That is the problem. One should not handle a million pound plane like a two door sports car.

I wonder what kind of object a 777 is and how 777tiger might relate to that object.
The world may never know.

Most impressive part was that the gear didn't break.
He sideloaded the shite out of those wheels.

A skilled pilot battled powerful crosswinds to safely land the world’s largest airliner, harrowing new video shows.
Didn’t read the whole thread but this is utter bullshite. It was the pilots fault with over correction along with a bounce.

Wonder if they paid for everyone change of pants after that.

I see it in his name, and fly a ton also. I’m curious what he would have done that pilot didn’t.
Posted on 10/7/17 at 3:05 pm to Passing Wind
The point is he bounced it, overreacted and over compensated. He almost killed a lot of people.

They aren't pretty, but passengers find them most comfortable.

These types of landings occur all the time, around the world. This isn't even the worst A380 landing that I've seen on YouTube.

Lol. My pilot pulls off tougher landings daily.
I've seen much more horrifying landings while walking through the quad

Anyone know the reasoning for that other than maybe he overshot his mark for landing?
I think that's it. He ran out of runway.

That was a damn good landing.
Walked away from it, didn't he. That in and of itself makes it so.
Posted on 10/7/17 at 5:48 pm to Street Hawk
So would that have caused damage to the landing gear?
I'd think they can take only so much stress.

Not skilled at all. Probably a low time homegrown with an ex-pat in the other seat. Anyone who downvoted 777s post is a dumbass.
Watch the video and look at the rudder deflection. Thats being moved by the pilot, not the wind. This guy over-controlled the frick out of that jet. That thing definitely needs inspecting with the amount off stress put on it.
